Original Note:
The term “cowboy” was originally considered to be insulting, notably during the American Revolution when describing the loyalists. Approximately 20,000 free and enslaved black people worked for the loyalists in exchange for their freedom. https://www.etymonline.com/word/cowboy https://libguides.nypl.org/c.php?g=1176173&p=8696798
